Players, players, players! Music Players!

I've been searching for an app that could manage my music library (near 8000+ musics, not so much, but it is a pain to search on WMP or musikCube - musikCube is a dead project, but I like the player so much that sometimes I use it just for the nostalgia).

Searching around blogs and other sources, just one conclusion, there are many players and just a little have a good support to manage oriental music (yes, japanese, korean, chinese - I'm a japanese descendant, judge me huahuahua). But, I have to admit, the player that is near to my needs is iTunes. Neither I have an iPod or any iThing, but it is just fine to use as a player on Windows (on Linux, I'm using Rhythmbox or Banshee, two good choices, none available on Windows unfortunatelly, moreover, there are ports of those two for Windows using Qt and KDE for Windows, without success I have to say, sad =[ ).

I'm a Linux and Android enthusiast, but Linux don't have a good support for games and multimedia yet (SteamOS, please, get out of this beta version ASAP!!), so I'm still locked on Uncle Bill's Windows for multimedia. On Linux, as I said, I'm using Rhythmbox or Banshee (Debian and ArchLinux, respectivelly), and those meet my needs. On Android, I was using Sony WALKMAN Player App, but it just messed all the infos about the songs on SDCard and after a little rage attack, I started to search for a new music player.

Many options: WINAMP, Real Player, BSPlayer - great names coming from the x86 to the Android domains. Any of those are tablet oriented - GUI messed and stretched to the limit of your screen, rotating menus ad infinitum if you tap your device. OK, must have millions of players - AAhnn NO! A tablet oriented player is a luxury on Google Play, but I found one. It's great and FREE - the (not) so famous doubleTwist Player. Good support for all the songs I had, connection to live radios and can manage even Podcasts!

Music Player Problem solved, at least for now. Links for most important apps below.
